(1) Tosa-cchāsaya (2) Akkhamīra-pakatita (3) Appasutta (4)
Anitthārammaṇasamayoga (5) Ākāṭavattū-samayoga. The process of anger develops

was starting from Arati (displeasure), Pāṭigha (irritation), Kodha (anger), Tosa (rage),
and Vyāpāda (ill will), Anger could be measured in three levels: Pāṭigha (minor),

Kodha (moderate), and Upanāha (intense). The Dhamma for eliminating anger were
the Threefold Training, the Gharavasa-dhamma: virtues for a good household life, the

Padhàna 4: effort, the Four Noble Truths, the development of loving-kindness

(Metta), Forgiveness, and Vipassana meditation.

3) Integrating psychological anger management with the Dhamma in

Theravada Buddhist scriptures was represented by the FIRE-UP Model: 5 factors; (1)
anger in, (2) forgiveness, (3) anger out, anger trait , and (5) anger pressing. This

model was consistent with empirical da
= 14.46, P-value = 0.01, CMIN/DF = 14.944, GFI = .978, CFI = .915, NFI = .915,

RMR = .014, RMSEA = .203, AVE = .38, and CR = .73, with statistical significance
at the .001 level.

The knowledge gained from the research were the FIRE-UP Model and the
RRCCFLHR Model, which integrate psychological science with Theravada

Buddhism. These models could be applied to manage anger more effectively in

contemporary society.
